Chapter 0006 Resurrection Overture (six)
Chapter 6 Resurrection Prelude (VI)
On the way back, Qi Leren and Chen Baiqi never said a word again.
They came all the way to the coast and smoked a cigarette together with the sea breeze. Qi Leren was still not used to smoking, but when nicotine entered his body, he relaxed strangely. After smoking one, Chen Baiqi handed him another one, which Qi Leren held in his hand but did not lit.
"Where has he been?" Qi Leren asked in the salty sea breeze.
"If he had not been lost in the spiritual barrier of no place, then he should have arrived at the Holy See, confessed his 'crime' to the Pope, went to Purgatory to atone for your sins, and continued your unfinished tasks." Chen Baiqi lit a cigarette for himself again, "This is what he can do with such a desperate mind, right?"
Qile people didn't speak.
"We who grew up in an atheistic society cannot understand the pressure brought by faith to people. Whether it is the right to survive or the right to love, in our eyes, when faith begins to trample on the rights that people should have, faith is no longer worthy of faith. But people in this world are different from us. This is a world where faith equals power. They will only be more pious and fanatical than the world we have lived in. To prove that faith is wrong, it will only be thousands or thousands of times harder than our world. So Ning Zhou does not think that faith is wrong. Even if he has doubts in his heart, he still cannot abandon all this. He will only convince himself that he is wrong, but he cannot correct this mistake. He can only accept the punishment for making mistakes and bear everything he has." Chen Baiqi said.
The Qile people also understood that even in their world, devout believers still firmly believe in the existence of God, let alone this world with the power of faith and the power of demons?
"And you can see that the kind of child who grew up in a happy family is a bit innocent, but also kind, optimistic and upright, and has a sound personality. It sounds very ordinary, right? But this kind of ordinary is the greatest extraordinary in this nightmare world. What's rare is that you are a person who is very good at thinking from the perspective of others, and is even willing to give and sacrifice for others. Perhaps it is someone like you who can impress Ning Zhou."
Qi Leren felt ashamed. He was not as good as Chen Baiqi said, nor as good as Ning Zhou thought.
"Qi Leren." Chen Baiqi called his name.
Qi Leren looked at her.
Her expression was unprecedentedly serious: "I am very, very scared now... I am afraid that Ning Zhou will go crazy. Maybe part of his spiritual world has collapsed with your death. If possible, you must cure him."
Qi Leren couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head vigorously and swallow the sour and itchy deep in his throat silently.
"I really admire him." Chen Baiqi stared at him and said slowly, "How much courage does a person need to deny his past, destroy his present and future with his own hands, and make his own struggle in the pain of betraying his faith and after death, just for the power to love. From now on, you are his God and his sins. You must heal him, redeem him, be his scabbard, be his armor, and become his faith. You must protect him well."
Qi Leren's eyes were wet again: "I understand... I will. Give me the information about Purgatory, I'll bring him back."
Chen Baiqi shook his head: "No, Ning Zhou and I agreed to keep in touch. Although the underground ant city is a mixed up with humans and demons, there are still many supply points that can communicate with the dusk town. After he arrives at the underground ant city, he will send me a letter from a supply point, and the address of the supply point will be attached to the letter. I can write to him based on this address and tell him what you are still alive. Purgatory is deep in the underground ant city, which is too big and too dangerous... I have been there and know what it looks like. It is like finding a person in a haystack. It is better to wait for his letter. The letters come and go, and you can contact him at most a month."
"That's fine, I'll wait for him." said Qi Leren.
Chen Baiqi smiled and handed him a heavy book: "Here, I'll give it to you."
"This is..." Qi Leren took the book and opened it and found that it turned out to be a hand-written version of "Classic". It looked old and the paper had turned yellow.
"Before getting married, you must at least understand the other party's religious beliefs. Although Ning Zhou left the Holy See, he is essentially a believer who abides by the precepts. It is always okay to learn more about it." Chen Baiqi said.
Qi Leren's face was a little burning: "It's too early to say that getting married now."
Chen Baiqi glanced at him: "You will regret it."
"ah?"
"Ning Zhou is a man who won't do anything to you even if he doesn't get married. If you don't want to continue living with your own hands, propose quickly."
“…”
In the gentle evening breeze, Chen Baiqi smiled and said, "Come back Ning Zhou quickly, I will host the wedding for you."
"...Thank you really, really." Qi Leren's mouth twitched.
Before the end of this conversation, Chen Baiqi instructed Qi Leren to come to him tomorrow.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qi Leren asked.
Chen Baiqi smiled slightly with malicious intentions: "Don't deal with you for Ning Zhou... Cough cough, it's training you for him. You are too weak now, and you haven't even laid a foundation well. If you want to go further, you have to start from scratch."
Qi Leren felt a chill behind his back. He had already foreseen that he would live "extraordinary fulfillment" in the future.
It was already early in the morning when Qi Leren returned home. When he took out the key and opened the door, he suddenly felt something was wrong... Why couldn't the key be inserted into the keyhole?!
Just as he was competing with the door lock, the door suddenly opened, and the two owners inside and outside the door looked at each other.
Qi Leren suddenly understood - Damn, the system determined that he died and took back the automatically allocated house and distributed it to the newcomer!
This new man is tall and big. Qi Leren is obviously almost 1.9 meters tall. But even such a sporty boy actually has two pointed little tiger teeth and two dimples on the corner of his mouth. He smiles sweetly: "Who are you?"
Qi Leren had a expressionless face: "Ex-house owner."
The newcomer blinked twice, suddenly opened his mouth wide, and grabbed his hand excitedly: "Senior! Are you the senior who left a suicide note in the room?! There are many task clues in your suicide note! I did several tasks according to your prompts, and all of them were successful! I earned a lot of survival days! Thank you for your senior!"
"..." Qi Leren's mood at this moment can no longer be described as a pain. He almost forgot that before going to the Holy City to carry out the mission of the Holy Nun, in order to prevent the secret of the nightmare game from being buried forever with his death, he left a letter in his house, recording how he downloaded "Nightmare Game" on his laptop, and how he entered the novice village and came to this nightmare world.
In order to win the trust, he also recorded many tasks he had performed while playing nightmare games on the computer. In the end, he also wrote down what he was about to do on the main task. At that time, his plan was that if he came back alive, the letter would naturally return to his own hands and would not be obtained by others. If he died, the house would be taken back by the system and distributed to other newcomers, and the letter would be left to future generations together.
I thought that doing this would at least avoid bringing such a major clue to the ground irresponsibly because of his own death. I never expected such an embarrassing situation to occur! He was still alive, but there was a "new love" in this room!
"Senior, my name is Du Yue. I am in my third year of high school, but I have been admitted to college in advance because of my good sports..." The newcomer shook his own affairs like a bean, and finally asked in confusion, "But senior, shouldn't you die?"
At this moment, Qi Leren felt the halo of the protagonist on the other side, and also felt the dead flag waving in the wind on his body - his current character is too similar to the NPC who gave the protagonist a golden finger secret and then turned a blind eye. After all, as the protagonist's "life mentor", they are all about to die.
"It was indeed dead, but I had a one-time resurrection prop, so I survived by chance... It seems that the system thought I was dead, so I assigned the house to you." Qi Leren said depressedly.
"Ah? That's it? It doesn't matter, senior, you can live with me. This house is big, and it's okay to live in it for seven or eight people!" Du Yue enthusiastically pulled Qi Leren and walked into the house. As soon as he entered the door, Qi Leren stepped on a bag of untied garbage bags, and the dirty kitchen waste leaked out.
Du Yue scratched his head embarrassedly: "I don't know how to clean up..."
Qi Leren expressed his understanding that most boys in high school are spoiled at home, and there are not many people like him who have been free from the rank since childhood.
